Report: DP World Tour to ban LIV Golf players from 2027 events, membership

The DP World Tour has decided to ban players who compete with LIV Golf from participating in its events and being members in 2027, according to BBC Sport. Previously, players were granted conditional releases, but that option is no longer available. The decision was made by Guy Kinnings, the CEO of the DP World Tour. This move has significant implications for European golfers, as membership in the DP World Tour is a prerequisite for participation in the Ryder Cup.

Players who have decided to play for LIV Golf in 2027, such as Jon Rahm, Sergio Garcia, David Puig, and Adrian Meronk, are among those who may face immediate termination of their membership if they fail to disclose their intentions. LIV Golf players have until October 25 to commit to the league's future, but the DP World Tour's decision could lead to another wave of players reconsidering their participation in the league.

The league has been facing financial difficulties, filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and undergoing court proceedings. With the DP World Tour's decision, the future of LIV Golf remains uncertain. Players have until November 16 to commit to the DP World Tour for the 2027 season.
